Everyone is welcome to attend the Board meeting. We encourage all who are on committees to come. Joanna Roquel Brewer Wilson has offered her clubhouse for our next IAD Board meeting. The sign says galway turn on that and then turn right see club house Joanna will help with the parking situation so its not a problem. Manager told her what to do with parking. Joanna needs to know how many are coming to meeting.

Idaho Deaf Youth Program (IDYP) is the main name for our program and the person(s) that become our leaders will be called Idaho Deaf Youth Representative(s) (IDYR).

IDYP will soon be under Idaho Association for the Deaf. Once they have established everything and get things moving, IDYP will be moving the website under IAD’s website. IDYP is excited about the new change. Many new things will be happening w/ IDYP and IAD. IAD has elected new board members. Alan Wilding, IAD President, Keith, Vice President, Stefanie Saltern, Secretary, Raymond Lockary, Treasurer, and Kristi is our Auditor. They will do great things for IAD and for our deaf and Hard of hearing community. When IDYP is under IAD’s wing, it’ll allow IAD to help IDYP to obtain grants and donations and they can be used as a tax write off. IDYP hopes to build youth camps to build future leaders of tomorrow.

Please keep checking back to see any updates.
